Between Rationalism and Empiricism: Selected Papers in the Philosophy of Physics

by Erhard Scheibe, B. Falkenburg, Brigitte Falkenburg (Editor)

Scheibe is one of the most important philosophers of science in Germany. He has written extensively on all the problems that confront the philosophy of physics: rationalism vs. empiricism; reductionism; the foundations of quantum mechanics; space-time, and much more. Since little of his work has been translated into English, he is not yet well known internationally. However, this collection of some 40 of his papers will remedy this unfortunate situation.
